xXBatmanXx I did similar, grabbed two swords, and two pistols for weapon set 2 - gives some range to a melee char, very handy and no penalty since even the secondary-slot weapons don't take up an inventory slot (if you don't do this, it's still a useful trick if your pack gets full of loot).

I almost never use spells, but give heal-all to your pet. Can't quite decide what else to give pet: he sets off his spells whenever any enemy on screen so very wasteful. Silence has faster charge so I figure more likely to do something useful with that.

Only 2 skill-spells I found worth using was the slash attack thing (kind of overpowered actually, clears a horde and does more damage yet takes minimal mana, really this is my primary attack) and later on the frost shield which reduces damage taken by about a third. The stampede is OK for starting a fight or getting out of trouble. All my other skill points have gone into the always-enabled stuff.
